0o16740

0o16740 is a string literal that represents a number. The leading "0o" prefix indicates that the number is written in the octal numeral system, which uses base 8. The digits that follow, "16740", are the octal digits.

To convert this octal number to its decimal (base 10) equivalent, we can use the positional notation. Each digit's value is multiplied by 8 raised to the power of its position, starting from the rightmost digit as position 0.

So, for 16740 in octal:

The rightmost digit is 0, which is at position 0. Its value is 0 * 8^0 = 0 * 1 = 0.

The next digit is 4, at position 1. Its value is 4 * 8^1 = 4 * 8 = 32.

The next digit is 7, at position 2. Its value is 7 * 8^2 = 7 * 64 = 448.

The next digit is 6, at position 3. Its value is 6 * 8^3 = 6 * 512 = 3072.

The leftmost digit is 1, at position 4. Its value is 1 * 8^4 = 1 * 4096 = 4096.

Adding these values together: 0 + 32 + 448 + 3072 + 4096 = 7648.

Therefore, 0o16740 is equal to 7648 in decimal. This representation is common in programming languages that support octal literals, such as Python.
